I guess this falls under Discussion and Help as opposed to the archaic software forum... read on to find out why...
I recently got a 512K. It boots to the flashin' floppy screen. I want to get it running System 1.1. I downloaded the disk image from this linkety. After realizing that disk image KPs your Mac, I enlisted a friend to help me. We got it to HFS format. It all seems intact. Now, the issue.
How do you convert it to MFS format? System 1 (and 2 for that matter) will only read MFS. (What the bloody hell is this MFS your talking about?)
I tried getting System 7 (the NAD) to fit on a 400k floppy. The System alone is 1,000k. Oops. System 6+Finder add up to 426k (ish). But over 400k.
If I can get a version of the System running on that Mac, then I can use other floppies with Disk Copy, etc, to make a MFS disk and then get a System 1.1 disk made. However, I have yet to find another way around this issue aside from the "use one archaic system to make another archaic system work" method.
If any of you have a System 2 or 3 or 4 boot floppy that would be nice... Apple is rather odd in the fact that give out System Software for Macs with 1MB and up. System 7.5.5 is the max you can get. But you can't get anything for less than 1 MB of RAM.
